I had never really spotted any serious vegan lunch options, though. Until now.

Just imagine my delight when I recently spotted these babies in the cabinet!

With a grin I quickly asked the waitress: “Do those patties have any egg or dairy in them?”

I held my breath as she went to check with the chef and then returned with the other three most beautiful words in the English language: “No, they’re vegan.”

*happy dance!!*

The Chickpea, Pumpkin & Coconut Patties were served warm and had a soft, creamy texture and delicate, delicious flavour. Matched with the tangy freshness of a Lentil, Fig and Celery Leaf salad and a Bean, Beetroot and Cranberry salad, the overall result was sublime.

Thank you for lifting the bar, Metrio! I look forward to many more vegan breakfasts with you – and now lunches too!

So glad you enjoyed your lunch and brekky. As the owner of Metrio & co I love hearing fab feedback. We change our cabinet food daily but most time there are vegan options. If I know I have a following I will endeavor to make sure there is a great selection. Pop in an ask for me so we can have a chat.
